“Fragile” is the fourth single (third in the UK) from Nothing Like the Sun. In the spring of 1988, it was a top 40 hit in Belgium, Italy and The Netherlands, and a minor hit in the UK.
Sting said this in the liner notes of the album:

[Verse]
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star

[Chorus]
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Fragile was written by Sting.
Fragile was produced by Neil Dorfsman & Sting.
